Would this include Petrocelli building his new house very very slowly?

I guess the V8 was just 'sexier' from a marketing perspective.

That's the one we're all waiting for. 😂

I don't understand their reasoning for putting those nasty wheels on the premium cars. I suppose you could buy a standard Hot Wheels car with nice wheels and swop them over.

Coventry Transport Museum used to have an Horizon Turbo in red and white with a champagne leather interior. It looked a bit unfinished, like a concept left over at Whitley when PSA moved out.

I wonder why they never offered a turbo version? Perhaps it was too hot.

A real Alfa would've retired due to corrosion.

Does this apply to Rishi Sunak as well?

I remember a Moke being on the cover of the Blue Peter annual.

...meanwhile in Brook Street, Jimi Hendrix and Handel were next door neighbours.

That looks quite smart. They should've done it earlier.

Tantalisingly the Taunus Coupé lived on in Argentine and was eventually facelifted up to Cortina Mk.5 standards.

Love the Atlas.

Not as nice as Innocenti's Mini Cooper dashboard.

Might've been interesting if anyone had ever tested and compared the Quattro alongside the Jensen FF, which had Dunlop Maxaret anti-lock brakes and Ferguson Formula four-wheel drive in the mid 60s. Obviously the Jensen was even more of an expensive toy than the Quattro was.

Wonderful!

I thought the original RX-7 was launched with some clever Wankel/Rotory style alloys but I can't find a picture of them.

This scene was cut from 'Bedknobs and Broomsticks' original release.

I thought the cassette player looked big but it must be a video recorder to go with the JVC camera. 🤔

It's scrubbed up nicely.

I'd like to have seen BL do something similar with the Rover SD1.

OMG, is that Susan Tully of Grange Hill and EastEnders fame? 😮

Charging points ought to display the prices as prominently as petrol stations do.

I miss the Series III tail fins.

They should've got Rosemary Smith to sell it, rather than Petula Clark.

If GM were ever going to drop the Vauxhall brand, that was the time to do it, when the dealerships had dual branding. Through the 80s, they could've gradually introduce new models as Opel only.

I wonder how many people were employed as commercial artists in the 50s, when almost every brochure, catalogue and magazine was either fully or partly illustrated?

The Isle of Man catamaran 'Manannan' and the Dublin-Holyhead catamaran 'Dublin Swift' are both ex-US Military vessels.
